That's why it is so weird to see Conservatives rally to the support of Trump. He is alot of things, but a fiscal Conservative ain't one of them.

That corporate rate dropped dramatically under Trump and, despite CEO surveys indicating an impressive amount of that savings would trickle down to employees and domestic production/relocation, it never materialized. frick them. Go back to taxing them the way they were (which was higher than 28%).
So what about all those small S-Corps and Partnerships? Biden wants to eliminate the pass through advantages so now those small businesses could be paying 28%. Yeah, frick them! Right?

But Joe did say that people's taxes would go up, not down if he was elected. At least he's not quite the liar that Clinton was. Hopefully, this action has a similar effect in the mid-terms that the one in 93 did.

You think this is a good thing? As an investor in the US government, you're not concerned that it is designed to always spend more than it brings in, therefore always needing more revenue from its investors?

Bernie Madoff understood this concept well.

At least Bernie had the decency to lie to his investors. The US gov straight up tells us how terrible they are and then writes laws to force more "investment."

Does this take effect before or after hyperinflation sets in?

The same ole rhetoric about the wealthy paying their “fair share” as though taking money out of people’s income is fair!

It's exactly government's role to work without a profit motive. There are basic services, facilities, and infrastructure we expect to be provided when we pay taxes. These items are not expected to create profit or be sold to users.
Take the USPS. Last summer there was a lot of talk about how the USPS isn't profitable. It's not supposed to be profitable! It's a government service. For less than a buck I can have someone pick up a letter from the mailbox in front of my house and drop it in my aunt's mailbox in California 3 days later. I'm paying for that service not just via a postage stamp, but also by paying taxes.
Fraud, waste, and abuse are all serious issues. You'll get no argument from me on that front. But there are serious advantages to having a government entity build infrastructure without a profit motive.
Like someone above said, we're supposed to vote the people who are irresponsible with our tax dollars out of office. Instead we're arguing about Mr. Potatohead's schlong and Andrew Cuomo being a perv.

That was a stupid piece of rhetoric, while the Dems. (you know, the taxation lovers) in Congress made certain to put new taxes in every freaking bill they passed so he would have to break that promise by the time defense bills and other stuff came along that he would HAVE to sign. It was a classic Swamp trick.

So what you want about the Dems, they are wasting no time in ramming their agenda and polices down the country’s throat.
Republicans recently controlled the house, senate, and WH for 2 years and didn’t do shite
